My alarm went off this morning, and the music was still playing when I woke up! 
 That's the first time in a few weeks that I've managed to get the box to play 
more than a couple of songs before stopping.  I left it running to see if my 
transition fault had miraculously gone away.

Unfortunately when I got back from work, I discovered that the music had indeed 
stopped again.  Here's the content of my "played tracks.txt" from the Now

Almost 4 hours before the fault occurred.  You can see several repeated song 
entries - I suspect this is the other type of fault where the box may 
spontaneously reboot and then start playing the track from the start again.

Maybe the faults are related.  I suspect they are two separate problems.

Maybe the spontaneous reboots are due to wireless network interference and 
dodgy error handling in the firmware.  They happen during songs, whereas the 
transition problem is when a song finishes (this may be related to the other 
bug that has been reported where the end of some tracks is skipped?).
